Just bought a 2017 Mahindra Mpower 85 and it has a Sears Seating pneumatic seat. Seat pumps up fine but as soon as I sit on it the seat bottoms out. I can't find any adjustment on it anywhere except for the button for the pump. I've never messed with this kind of seat before. Anybody have...
Doing spring maintenance on my new (last year) Rhino TS 12 batwing and had a question about the drive shaft. Owners manual shows grease zerk on the shaft with an opening in the shaft cover to access it. The hole is there in the cover but after several attempts I can find no grease zerk...
I have been looking at a JD 750 dozer and noticed that the exhaust manifold has a weld right about the center of the manifold. No signs of cracking or leaking otherwise but just wondered about whether this is a red flag i.e. overheating the engine or just a flawed casting that is not a big...
Our local spring equipment auction has a NH 451 that is in "fair" ?? shape but I am not very familiar with these cutters other than my grandfather used to use them for cutting his hay. I need a sickle mower for the usual pond banks, dams type of cutting. This one has the 9ft bar which I like...
I have a Kubota M8200 80HP with a category II hitch. I want to put in small food plots - acre or less on my property and a dove field - sunflowers. Been looking for small planters but most are for Category 1 tractors. Not crazy about buying junk and rebuilding it when I see new ones for...
I have 55 acres that is mostly grassland, former pasture and I have it enrolled in a conservation stewardship plan which means right now I cannot mow it until after Aug. 1. The grasses are fescue, orchard grass, switchgrass, lespedeza and some timothy. I mow about 2 acres around the barn and...
For those of you rebuilding old equipment and need to replace wood bushings/bearings, this site was posted on the QDMA site:
Odd Shaped Custom Bearings | Woodex
Looks like they have exactly the one I need for my cultipacker and they build custom also.
Was installing Pat's quick hitch on my Kubota and noticed the left 3 pt lift arm angle was different. Didnt notice that when i bought it but now i see that something has hit it hard going out toward the tire. That arm will not come in toward the center as much as the right one and i cant see...
I have a chance to buy a JD H1110 disk that needs work but the price is right. Anybody have any information on these as to quality? I would be using it behind an 85 HP Kubota for tilling up food plots and dove fields etc. I would think JD would be good quality and it looks pretty heavy built...
I am rebuilding an old - very old - Mcormick-Deering double roll cultipacker and I need a few parts. Just wondering if anyone knows where I could find some of this type castle nut and thrust washers. The OD is about 3-3/4 in and the bore is 1-3/4. Thrust washers are about 3/16 to 1/4 in...
Well, I have my summer project. Picked up this old McKormick Deering cultipacker today. It's pretty rough but it has "good bones" as they say so I'm gonna do a full restore on it. Needs four new rollers but came with one extra. Should keep me out of trouble for a while.
I'm comparing the EA Extreme Heavy Duty BB with a Bush Hog Heavy Duty BB at a local dealer. I could save $500 to $600 by buying the Bush Hog BB locally and it is built pretty tough. I will be using the BB behind a 82HP Kubota quite a bit on my property which is reclaimed mine land and has a...
Getting ready to buy a Milwaukee M18 Impact driver and was just wondering if the 3/4 in drive is worth the extra money. You do get a bit more power with the 3/4 M18. I do not own an impact wrench and no impact sockets yet. If you were starting off new would you go with 1/2 in or 3/4 in.? I...
I own 55 acres of reclaimed strip mine land in So. IL and it has lots of rocks laying on the surface. I put it in the Conservation Stewardship program to keep my taxes down and in my 5 year plan I said we were going to maintain trails and firebreaks. So I wanted to start mowing firebreaks but...
I have a 10 Ft. Howse Rotary mower that I need to replace the outside gear box on. When inspecting the coupler I noticed broken plates. Talked to a Howse guy and he said likely that the gear boxes are out of alignment. I've got a dial indicator and know how to align shafts using the indicator...
I have 55 acres of reclaimed mine land with lots of rocks in the soil. Some huge boulders too. Parts of it are eroded and I have some pretty substantial gullies that I need to fill in and install erosion control on. Other areas (total about 1 to 1-1/2 acre) are acidic exposed slate and need...
I need to ship my Kubota M8200DTC with an LA1251 loader on it problem is I need a weight for the loader. I can find weight of tractor on Tractordata but no info on the loader weight. Anybody know where I can find weight on the loader. Google search doesn't bring up much about weight.
After lurking around here for the last couple years doing research I found the deal I was looking for and pulled the trigger today. My first tractor, a Kubota M8200. This site was a valuable tool in my education on tractors. Thanks to all who share their knowledge on these forums.
I've been shopping all the online sites for tractors for about a year and a half and I've noticed a number of very suspicious ads on some sites. The generally show a very desirable tractor at a unusual low price but there is no location, name or phone, just an email. I tried contacting the...
I'm new here but I've been lurking and doing research on purchasing my first tractor. I have 55 acres of reclaimed mine land on a lake where I plan to build my retirement home. I am looking for a tractor for mowing, some dirt work, maintaining food plots, clearing rock from the soil and maybe...
